Barra Fishing and Mud Crabbing (Darwin Creek Australia)

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

What did we do wrong? Is it the wrong time of year for mub crabs?

[@rodashford1151]

Look for little creeks and drains and put your pots in the mouths of them mate, also spread them out a bit, each pot fishes about 100m off water so you can space them out around 100m apart, it was good to see you catch a couple of fish tho, shame they weren't legal. P.s. when using mullet , thraw them and heavily salt them a day or 2 beforehand, yes they stink but the crabs love em

[@edgyorange890]

Two months ago the crabs were going of is shoal bay and the harbour I think you just missed it

[@nobsfishing790]

Good to see you back in action making videos.! Try chicken frames for muddies fish/fish frames are better for sandies 🤙🏿🤙🏿 keep up the good work boss

[@evelynday6219]

Big tides good for crabs, neap tides good for Barra, generally speaking.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

We had chicken frames in 2 of the pots. Both of those pots got destroyed by sharks or crocs. Haha.

[@fnqhkgts620]

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Cheers mate. You been fishing recently?

[@91harryd]

Great video as always Mikey! Love your work.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Thanks for watching mate. Legend.

[@evelynday6219]

Oh well Mikey, not all days can be diamonds, still a good day out and a good watch mate, cheers.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Spewing I couldn't make it a catch and cook episode. I had all the ingredients ready at home too.

[@WE33WE]

Good one Mikey

[@HUNTINGNT375]

Good stuff mate 🤠

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Mate, you did an episode in the past few weeks where it looked like you locked yourself in a creek for the low tide. It was a good one. You caught a couple of Barra and what looked like sand crabs or blue swimmers. I'd love to pick your brain and find out what tide that was and where. I really want to do a catch and cook with Barra and Crabs.

[@HUNTINGNT375]

Sent you a private message on Facebook mate hope that helps

I had my best day fishing up here in 2 years (since I've been here) yesterday. 7 fish on lures in a few hours, 2 legal barra and a 68 which was dinner.. Buff Creek has a million people with crab pots out

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Nice one mate. 2 legal Barra any day, anywhere, I would be happy with. With the crabs, my father-in-law usually cleans up on crabs there. Not sure what was going on on the day.

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

What was the tide doing when you got your Barra there?

[@andeeaye]

@@MikeyCunninghamFishing It was around low tide at Leaders Creek.. Seems like the fish are biting at the moment..

[@terrencetaylor694]

Hey Mikey, I used to work on a barra baot for about 10 years. We usually use barramundi heads or any big fish heads for crab bait or catch a shark an use dat. They work really good. Just thought I'd let ya know

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

10 years.... crikey. You must have seen a thing or 2 in your time. I'll give the heads a go when I go crabbing again.

[@terrencetaylor694]

Yea mate I have, heaps of barramundi, threadfin salmon, mullaway, big crocs. I left school halfway through year 11 an stuck to it for 10 years

[@gazmo6070]

Didnt know you could buy directly from masterbait warehouse. Might save a few bucks

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

Mate, I’ve got to know them so they were just looking after me this trip. I’m not sure if it’s something they usually do. 👍🏻

[@kiahryder5314]

Hey mate just wondering where did you get the shimano Calais dc from?

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

My old man reckons you can’t buy it in Australia. He got it online from Japan I reckon. Incredible reel aye. Way better than you’ll even need.

[@nickhoulihan7716]

Hey Mikey you try KFC bro. Ive had luck before . We used to use it for murray crays down south. You might be happy with the results

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

KFC. Haha. For real?

[@jackncrabs7150]

What boat ramp did you launch from?

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

That was Buffalo Creek mate.

[@travelangler]

Boss , looks like bufflo creek , not many crabs there boss

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]

My father-in-law goes there and usually gets dozens of them. 🦀👍🏻

[@travelangler]

[@ladstopendadeventures8237]

[@MikeyCunninghamFishing]
